# AWS - CLI
The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool to manage AWS services from the command line. Using the AWS CLI, you can control multiple AWS services, automate tasks, and manage configurations through profiles.
## Set up AWS CLI
Install AWS CLI and configure it for the first time:
```ps1
aws configure
```
This will prompt for:
* AWS Access Key ID
* AWS Secret Access Key
* Default region name
* Default output format
## Creating Profiles
You can configure multiple profiles in `~/.aws/credentials` and `~/.aws/config`.
* `~/.aws/credentials` (stores credentials)
```ini
[default]
aws_access_key_id = <default-access-key>
aws_secret_access_key = <default-secret-key>
[dev-profile]
aws_access_key_id = <dev-access-key>
aws_secret_access_key = <dev-secret-key>
[prod-profile]
aws_access_key_id = <prod-access-key>
aws_secret_access_key = <prod-secret-key>
```
* `~/.aws/config` (stores region and output settings)
```ini
[default]
region = us-east-1
output = json
[profile dev-profile]
region = us-west-2
output = yaml
[profile prod-profile]
region = eu-west-1
output = json
```
You can also create profiles via the command line:
```ps1
aws configure --profile dev-profile
```
## Using Profiles
When running AWS CLI commands, you can specify which profile to use by adding the `--profile` flag:
```ps1
aws s3 ls --profile dev-profile
```
If no profile is specified, the **default** profile is used.
